What is a Kite Messenger or Kite Ferry?

A Kite Messenger is a device with one or more sails that is hooked over the line of a kite already in flight. With a good wind, the messenger climbs up the line towards the kite. At a predetermined stop, the messenger triggers a release mechanism that allows the sails to fold and then returns safely down the line to the kite flier.
